I'm having a tough time figuring out how to install the top usb2/firewire connections on my CoolerMaster Wave Master chassis onto my Soyo Dragon 600 Ultra Platinum.
1. USB2: The motherboard has two separate places to plug in USB2 wires. Each of the two places has two rows of prongs; one row has four prongs while the second row has five prongs. However, the case wires that I think are the USB2 wires have only one row of holes each. (The five-hole USB2 case wire has red, black, blue, and white wiring, while the four-hole USB2 case wire has orange, red, brown, and black wiring. My question is: DO BOTH CASE WIRES GO INTO A SINGLE MOTHERBOARD USB2 PLACE, WITH THE FIVE-HOLE WIRE GOING INTO THE FIVE-PRONG ROW, AND THE FOUR-HOLE WIRE GOING INTO THE FOUR-HOLE ROW? If so, how do I know which direction to orient the wire?
2. Firewire: The thick black case wire that I take to be the firewire case wire has two rows of holes: five holes in one row and four holes in the other. The row with four holes covers over the LAST HOLE at the end of the row. The problem here is that the motherboard firewire place, which has five prongs in one row and four prongs in the second, deletes one of the MIDDLE PRONGS in the four-prong row, not the LAST PRONG.
Thank you
